Best two here are Waking Up To Us, a magnificent bit of pop from Belle and Sebastian, and Jay-Z's wonderful Izzo. I am super happy that I can tick both of these with a clear head.

I'm A Slave 4 U is utterly cracking also - it's really stood up.

Slave 4 You was the first crack in my indie snob armour after several years of pop shunning, so I have a very special fondness for it! And YES to the still ace.

It's one of my fave Neptunes-related tracks (that I can think of right now).

I'm a Slave 4 You was the first Britney track I ever paid any attention to in my indie wilderness years, mainly because my girlfriend of the time did some furious repping for it, i.e. playing it at every given opportunity.

waking up to us may be the bitterest song stuart has ever written...

also the single contains i love my car, teh worst song stuart has ever written (and marx and engels which is ACE, but that's not the POINT)

jonathan david is much better, did that get nommed?

[strange-powers.livejournal.com]

Jonathan David is much better, I agree. But that does not preclude this from being really really really good indeed,.

meh.

yes, i know i'm a bit snooty when it comes to b&s, given that they are the answer i give when people ask me who my favourite band is, but the early funny stuff is just so much better
